It will boast an accessible seat height of 785mm, which is 5mm lower than the firm’s 399cc LAMS-approved Scrambler, and electronic rider aids will be limited to ABS only.
“Ducati has once again produced the new Monster 659 specifically for our market,” Ducati Australia’s Warren Lee said.
“So as many learner riders as possible will have the opportunity to ride a new Ducati."
The learner-approved Monster is expected to roll into Australian dealerships in October 2017 where it will be offered for an special introductory price if $12,490 plus on-road costs, including the firm’s 24-month roadside emergency assist, as well as a two-year unlimited-kilometre warranty.
